Chapter 90 Jinjiang Literature City First Release

“Li Li, I thought your Mister wouldn’t let you come out.”

As they walked toward the club, Zhou Zhi teased him with a smile.

Bai Li shook his head and spoke seriously on Xie Chen’s behalf: “Mister is very easygoing. I told him I promised you I’d come, so he let me come.”

Zhou Zhi didn’t comment.

She knew very well that someone like Xie Chen was, in this silly little cat’s eyes, a good person.

If anyone else were to evaluate Xie Chen, the feedback probably wouldn’t have a single good word.

The club was decorated exquisitely, not too crowded, and the environment could be called top-notch.

Zhou Zhi turned her head and glanced at Bai Li.

Tonight, Bai Li wore relatively formal clothes, with no makeup on his face, yet his fair and tender skin easily outshone many who were heavily made up.

He was truly handsome, with delicate features; when he smiled, his eyes curved like crescent moons, making others involuntarily want to smile along.

The more Zhou Zhi looked at him, the more she thought Xie Chen really had found a treasure.

“Li Li, how did Xie Chen express his feelings to you?” Zhou Zhi suddenly grew curious.

A hint of confusion flashed in Bai Li’s eyes.

He thought for a moment and straightforwardly said to Zhou Zhi: “I chased Mister.”

After learning Mister was his fiancé, he wanted to marry Mister and had been working toward it!

Zhou Zhi: “...”

She was stunned.

This really wasn’t obvious at all.

While they talked, they arrived at the spacious main hall of the club ahead.

The entire floor was reserved, and everyone there was a guest for tonight.

“Li Li, link your arm with mine.”

Zhou Zhi wore a proper smile on her face and walked forward with elegance and composure.

Bai Li reached out and linked his arm with hers, following her forward.

Both of them stood out in appearance, especially Bai Li; wherever they went, they naturally attracted attention.“Zhou Zhi jie.”

Someone walked over smiling, greeting Zhou Zhi: “Long time no see, congratulations on your return to the dance scene. I saw the video from the recent dance party—it was brilliant.”

“Thank you,” Zhou Zhi replied gently.

After some small talk with Zhou Zhi, the person glanced at Bai Li and, unsurprisingly, was impressed.

“This is…”

“He’s Bai Li, my last disciple.”

Upon hearing this, the other person’s expression stiffened.

“You… you’ve taken on disciples again?”

“Mm.”

Zhou Zhi’s simple “mm” made the other person look as if they were struggling to hold back frustration.

“Well, that Yan Shuang, she’s here too.”

“I know.”

Bai Li also knew this name.

Zhou Zhi had given him a crash course. Zhou Zhi had several disciples, among whom Arno was her proudest, with great talent in dance.

Zhou Zhi had originally thought Arno’s future would be to become a dancer even more outstanding than herself, standing at the pinnacle of the dance world, shining brilliantly for all to see.

But…

Because of Yan Shuang, Arno was ruined.

Yan Shuang was jealous of Arno—jealous of her looks, and even more jealous of her talent.

Arno was a dancer but because of Yan Shuang, her ankle was seriously injured, and she could never return to the stage.

Yan Shuang framed Arno for the injury.

There was no evidence to prove these things. Zhou Zhi had almost been crushed by these continuous blows.

Now, things were different.

Bai Li gently patted Zhou Zhi’s hand with his other paw, as if giving her strength.

“I’m fine.”

Zhou Zhi said softly, bypassed the person in front of her, and walked a few steps toward the crowd.

“Everyone, long time no see.”

“Zhou Zhi.”

“Sis.”“Senior.”

Various greetings sounded one after another. The queen of the dance world had returned, and she was still the queen.

Her status had never been shaken by anyone.

Amid the greetings, a girl in a white dress with long straight hair stepped forward.

“I thought you’d be too ashamed to show your face again.”

The girl was pure and pretty in appearance, but when she spoke, Bai Li felt like clawing at her.

Without a doubt, this was Yan Shuang, who had been stirring trouble in Bai Li’s mind.

“Ashamed to show your face?”

Bai Li frowned, looking a bit confused, tilting his head as he asked Zhou Zhi, “Why does she say that about you?”

Before Yan Shuang could “explain,” Bai Li added with more distress:

“You look so good and dance well; if you were really ashamed to show your face, then she—”

Bai Li pointed at Yan Shuang: “Looking like that, wouldn’t she have to hide at home every day, afraid to meet anyone?”

Pfft.

Bai Li insulted her with a completely sincere face, as if stating an undeniable truth.

One of the onlookers couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing.

Yan Shuang’s expression darkened. She wanted to ask Bai Li what right he had to call her ugly.

But when she raised her eyes, Bai Li’s face was glaringly the “right” to say it.

“Who are you to her?”

Yan Shuang looked him up and down maliciously: “Zhou Zhi’s little duck? Pretty good at protecting her master.”

Normally, Yan Shuang wouldn’t say such insulting words outright.

But she couldn’t stand others calling her ugly.

Duck.

This word Bai Li had not encountered yet.

Before he could react, Zhou Zhi, who was no pushover, spoke up.

“Smack—”

A crisp slap sounded in everyone’s ears.

“Yan Shuang, he’s not someone you can insult.”Zhou Zhi’s face turned cold as she slapped Yan Shuang, who had been speaking recklessly, leaving her stunned.

After Yan Shuang recovered, she trembled with anger and refused to let Zhou Zhi off.

But the people present weren’t there to watch them fight. Since Yan Shuang provoked first and got slapped, no one felt sorry for her.

The crowd pulled Yan Shuang away, while some tried to smooth things over by inviting Zhou Zhi aside to chat.

There were many people present—not only from their dance circle but also others.

Bai Li saw Zhou Zhi talking peacefully with people, so he didn’t interrupt for now.

He had a more important task.

Since Third Brother and Sixth Brother were here, he needed to find them.

“Zhou Zhi-jie,”

Bai Li approached quietly and said to her, “I’m going to find my brothers. I’ll come to you soon.”

“Okay.”

Zhou Zhi didn’t want to hold him back all night. If he could come back having put down Yan Shuang’s proud face, that would be enough.

Those humiliations didn’t need a cat to handle—she wasn’t dead.

“You can go find your brothers, but don’t get close to Yan Shuang without me watching, understand?”

Zhou Zhi knew Yan Shuang’s viciousness best.

Bai Li nodded, “I understand.”

He turned to find his brothers, while Zhou Zhi continued talking with the people before her.

“I’m back. From now on, the dance world definitely won’t tolerate her anymore.”

Zhou Zhi smiled gently. “What do you think?”

“What can I say? There’s no comparison between you and her.”

Glasses clinked. The elegant queen of the dance world had returned to her rightful place.

Elsewhere,

Bai Li had already been approached by quite a few people.

Without Xie Chen by his side, it was obvious how many people would feel tempted.

“I’m not single.”

“I have a fiancé.”

“He’s especially, especially good.”

Bai Li’s polite three-line refusal turned away some, but of course, not all.Yan Shuang, who had just been pulled away by that kind of person, was not far off, staring at Bai Li’s face like a venomous snake.

“Calling me ugly…”

A faint smile curled at the corner of Yan Shuang’s lips, her whisper barely audible like a mosquito’s buzz: “Wait until you lose that face, then do you still have the right to say that to me?”

Clinging to Zhou Zhi, using that face, she dared to trample on her.

Look what happened to the previous Arno; the same fate would befall this one.

Yan Shuang mostly kept to the dance world and rarely paid attention to gossip, so she didn’t recognize Bai Li as the boy linked to Xie Chen’s name who had appeared on hot searches several times.

She turned away, not knowing what she intended to do.

In a more inconspicuous corner, Xie Chen set down his glass, leisurely took out a tissue to wipe his hands, and got up to follow Yan Shuang’s direction.

As for his kid, he knew Tan Yi and Bai Liu were here.

He’d just let Li Li go play cat-and-mouse.

When Li Li came back, some people had already greeted him and asked for contact info. He planned to find ways to feed Li Li all that jealousy and let him have a proper taste.

The main hall smelled of perfume.

Bai Li’s sense of smell was disturbed, making it impossible to find his brothers by scent.

Wandering around, he accidentally walked into a long corridor beside the main hall.

On both sides of the corridor were rooms for resting.

Some tipsy guests came over to rest and squinted at Bai Li.

“Not bad looking.”

A guest opened a room door and, slickly, invited Bai Li, “Want to come sit in my room?”

Bai Li: “...”

He stepped back a few paces, “No.”

When Big Brother sent Yu Yin to the hotel room, Sixth Brother had explained that inviting others to a room usually meant bad intentions!

Yu Yin was the sister-in-law; later Big Brother said that wasn’t bad intentions but normal relationship fun between partners.

Bai Li didn’t know this oily man, so naturally, there was no question of any “fun” with him.

He turned to leave, but the oily man grabbed his arm.

“Know who I am?”

The oily man shamelessly tried to persuade the clearly innocent-looking boy in front of him: “Come to my room, I guarantee you’ll get whatever you want.”

Bai Li: “Pfft.”Trash.

Not wanting to get tangled with trash, Bai Li shook off his arm, full of disgust.

The oily man glared at him, then suddenly laughed.

“Have you heard of the Xie Group?” he arrogantly and arrogantly said, “I’m the president of Xie Group, Xie Chen.”

Bai Li: “?”

Who did you say you are?

The oily man pretending to be Xie Chen was also wealthy, but he had some grudge against Xie Chen, so now he deliberately waved Xie Chen’s banner to fool people.

When Bai Li came, he wanted to keep a low profile as a cat.

But when it involved his fiancé, the grudge cat immediately came online!

Bang—

The dull sound of fists hitting faces, and the chaotic kicks after throwing someone down—all were endured by the oily man.

Bai Li fought not like a cat, but like a fierce little tiger cub.

The oily man was a lousy fighter, beaten up with a bruised nose and swollen face.

“Xie Chen is my fiancé.”

Bai Li fiercely kicked the man on the ground again and threatened, “If you dare impersonate him again, I’ll beat you to death!”

After the fight, Bai Li angrily turned to leave.

But when he turned, he saw someone.

The other wore a well-tailored suit, his facial lines sharp as if carved by a knife, outstanding features, and eyes as pure and blue as gemstones.

Bai Li had been online before; he was not a total rustic cat.

He knew this was a rather handsome mixed-race man.

“You’re a bit different from what I expected.”

The man, after looking at him for a long time, said something strange to him:

“I thought you’d be very obedient. Didn’t expect you to be a bit fierce.”

Bai Li frowned deeply.
